CNN added that Kushner remains exasperated by Kelly’s decision to overhaul the security clearance process, believing that the move was meant to target him.

He has been asking others, “Why is John Kelly doing this?”

Kushner’s West Wing tribulations were compounded Wednesday as Bloomberg reported that the New York Department of Financial Services petitioned Deutsche Bank and other lenders for information about Kushner, his family and their eponymous company.

Kushner stepped down from the company last year when he joined his father-in-law’s administration.

The request from the state comes months after reports that federal and tax authorities have already requested documents from lenders and investors in Kushner properties.

Maria Vullo, the superintendent of the Department of Financial Services, requested copies of emails and other communications between the Kushners and Deutsche Bank, Signature Bank and New York Community Bank regarding financing requests that have been denied or are pending, according to Bloomberg.

A spokeswoman for the family-run business called the inquiries “harassment solely for political reasons.”

“We have not received a copy of any letter from the New York State Department of Financial Services,” Kushner Cos. spokeswoman Christine Taylor told Bloomberg. “Our company is a multi-billion enterprise that is extremely financially strong. Prior to our CEO voluntarily resigning to serve our country, we never had any type of inquiries.”
